Tom: E
C#m D A B
I saw the best minds of my generation
C#m D A B
Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical
C#m D A B
I should be allowed to glue my poster
C#m D B
I should be allowed to think
[Chorus]
C#m D A
I should be allowed to glue my poster
B E A E
I should be allowed to think
A E A E
I should be allowed to think
A E B
I should be allowed to think
C#m D A B
And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea
C#m D A B
If by random whim one occurs to me
C#m D A B
If necessary leave paper stains
C#m D E
On the gray utility pole
[Verse 2]
C#m D A B
I saw the worst bands of my generation
C#m D A B
Applied by magic marker to drywall
C#m D A B
I should be allowed to shoot my mouth off
C#m D B
I should have a call-in show
[Chorus]
C#m D A
I should be allowed to glue my poster
B E A E
I should be allowed to think
A E A E
I should be allowed to think
A E B
I should be allowed to think
C#m D A B
And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea
C#m D A B
If by random whim one occurs to me
C#m D A B
If necessary leave paper stains
C#m D E
On the gray utility pole
[Bridge]
A C#m
I am not allowed (to ever come up with a single original thought)
F#7 A B
I am not allowed (to meet the criminal government agent who oppresses me)
[Verse 3]
C#m D A B
I was the worst hope of my generation
C#m D A B
Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical
C#m D A B
I should be allowed to share my feelings
C#m D B
I should be allowed to feel
[Chorus]
C#m D A
I should be allowed to glue my poster
B E A E
I should be allowed to think
A E A E
I should be allowed to think
A E B
I should be allowed to think
C#m D A B
And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea
C#m D A B
If by random whim one occurs to me
C#m D A B
But sadly, this can never be
[Outro]
B E A E
I am not allowed to think
B E A E
I am not allowed to think
B E A E
I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)
B E A E
I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)
B E A E
I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)
